How...egalitarian...
This is such disingenuous reporting. I despite Kerry with every fiber of my being, but a private jet uses SIGNIFICANTLY less fuel than a passenger airliner. That doesn't excuse his hypocrisy, but c'mon.
Kerry is not only a vile traitor but a horsefaced hypocrite.
Why can't he take commercial flights? The amount of fuel used per passenger is a lot less.
Not arguing that point. I completely agree. I’m talking about the engineering aspect of arguing per passenger vs. net used. A passenger jet is going to use much more fuel per route than a private jet. Again, I’m arguing the per passenger climate BS more than the hypocrisy.
Couldn’t he just do Zoom Meetings like the rest of us?
The rules apply to the peasants...not to the Ruling Elite.
What kind of country does this author think we live in? A republic?
Why would flying private be the only choice for talentless dishonest pinheads?
Swiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry is the man who demands you do a I say not as I do.
These enviroweenies remind me of the parents in the daydream who when asking their son Robbie what brought him to this lowly state (being blind) he replies “It was … soap.” (Lifeboy)
They say they care about the environment and that pollution causes global warming but pollute like crazy.
Flying a jet, within the borders of Massachusetts. WOW!!! Thing of it is, he’d be taking Uber if it wasn’t for his wife and her dead husband’s money.
You can drive across the whole state, east to west, in less than 3 hours, if I remember. North-South is way less.
He’s obviously to good to ride the ferry with the common folk. I doubt anyone would pay attention to him. And the ferry ride from the Vineyard to Woods Hole doesn’t take that long. Nor does the one to Nantucket, where he has a home, bought and paid for by his wife.
Per Passenger!
I was traveling every other week for work back in 2019 and loved it. In-person meetings are much more functional, IMO. Jetsetting on a corporate (or taxpayer) dime feels good. But yeah, sitting here and preaching to us while doing something else completely is de rigeur for Kerry. He’s a vile human being.
I don’t think it’s about the fuel, it’s the exhaust. And if it’s only one person, plus a 2 or 3 person crew, the math could be right. As opposed to a big jet with hundreds.
God I hate FR for this reason. People see one comment, glom on, and post their flame without reading other points of discussion down the thread. I already addressed this. I get it.
He's rich because of a Republican!

The movie “Christmas Story”...
I want to go at 8:30 and the commercial jets goes at 10:00 .
